Not necessarily. “Occupy Wall Street” was mostly about taking up space as a means of peaceful protest. Any conquering would have been metaphorical.
Personally, I sometimes receive mail addressed to “Occupant”, even though I certainly have not conquered anything. I do pay rent, though, on the single room in the residence only I occupy. Would that be conquering on a month to month basis?

By that logic, the American War of Independence was also illegal and shouldn’t have happened. People should protest an unjust system and that includes Occupy Wall Street. Unjust laws are also things used to stifle legitimate protest and virtually no country is immune from that.

“How would you describe ‘Occupied France’ during WWII?”
Much as you would, I expect.
“That simply mean that some nice German’s were living there peacefully?”
By no means, but we needn’t get into that, as we agree it was a military occupation.
But as anonymous notes, military is not the only form of occupation.

“There was nothing ‘peaceful’ about that whole “Occupy Wall Street” crap, for a start, they were doing it illegally and without permission.”
I beg to differ. legal is not the same as peaceful, and the converse is also true. I didn’t hear of any riots and such during the “Occupy X” activities. A few individuals may have veered from the peaceful ideal, but by and large the protesters were attempting to follow in the footsteps of Gandhi and use civil disobedience.

But I’m sorry now I used the Occupy movement as an example (the name just seemed so perfectly suited…), as the political aspect seems to have obscured the point I was trying to make. I’ll try to remember to stay away from even failed political movements in the future and stick to personal anecdotes.
You don’t seem to have any axe to grind with my second paragraph, at least. 🙂
